Franz Xavier Winterhalter

Franz Xaver Winterhalter (1805-1873) was a German painter and lithographer known for his flattering portraits of royalty and upper-class society in the mid-19th century. He was born in the small village of Menzenschwand in Germany's Black Forest. Winterhalter received his training in drawing and engraving before moving to Munich in 1823, where he studied under the portraitist Joseph Karl Stieler. He later benefited from the protection and support of the Grand Dukes of Baden, allowing him to pursue his studies and stay in Italy from 1832-1834. Winterhalter became a sought-after portraitist and was known for his ability to capture the essence and elegance of his subjects, particularly European royalty and aristocracy. His work was influenced by the Rococo and Neoclassical styles, and he became the preferred portraitist of the Second Empire in France. Winterhalter's portraits are celebrated for their technical skill and his ability to capture the beauty and grace of his subjects. His work continues to be highly regarded and has left a lasting impact on the art world.
